About Stuart
Stuart Worley is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in South Carolina. She brings five years of direct therapy experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD concerns, and the strains that come with parenting and family life. She works with concerns that often overlap - relationship and communication problems, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep trouble, anger, and low self-esteem.
Stuart also pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and codependency.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and accepting. She names that the ways people cope have usually helped them before, and she supports clients in noticing which patterns no longer serve them. Conversations are practical and tailored to each person’s needs rather than one-size-fits-all exercises.
Stuart draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools depending on what fits the person and the problem. Sessions are offered in English and take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Stuart works with issues related to gender and LGBT concerns, gender dysphoria, autism spectrum features, and many common life transitions and stressors. Her goal is to help people notice patterns, choose different responses, and build small changes that add up. The first steps are simple - answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for you.

Online session options
How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Stuart blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to address life challenges. Narrative Therapy helps people tell the stories they carry and look for alternate meanings and possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking small committed actions that match what matters most. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current ways of relating.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Stuart will talk with you about your goals, what has worked before, and what feels most comfortable. Together you will try methods and adjust over time so therapy fits your needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation from any location. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when you need shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life.
